Its good to mention key skill nd experience with little key point not much in detail which spoil the attraction of recruiter.

as long its not obliged to any confidential agreement or after the client granted their approval then it will be a right and a must specially if it will add to my portfoilo

Depend about your resume ...if you have alot of experince and alot of project you working on you dont need to mention . If you dont have you must mention.

Of course.

I'm assuming you're refering to brands (i.e. BMW, Pepsi, Joe''s Shawarma) rather than the actual names of your clients.

Your roster of clients is a great way to show your caliber; and a link to the work you've done is even better. Whether you're just starting out or have been at it for quite some time, always show your best work -- but not all of it, just a handful. Your objective is just to give them a taste to whet their appetite. Save your very best work for the interview.I, myself, prefer to show my work accompanied by a short story or anecdote  about the particular projects I feature, just to give a bit of context as well as to establish some human connection.

I certainly think this is a good idea, especially if the clients can provide good references for you.  Of course, just as with references, you should always verify with the clients before releasing their information in a resume or CV.

No You Can'tYou just write a few details about Your Experience and attach example with it

Yes of course Miss Nisreen you can write down your Freelance experience, infact it would increase your Resume's strength & would depict you as a professional, but be concise and comprehensive, no extra details.

No need to go as far as giving links, rather mention the type of work and responsibilites achieved along with a few big client names to make your experience more attractive.
